Every year, churches around the world open their doors and hearts to host the Going Beyond Simulcast with Priscilla Shirer—and the impact is undeniable. From meaningful worship led by Anthony Evans to powerful teaching that equips women to dive deeper into Scripture, this event creates a space where women can step away from the noise of everyday life and encounter the presence of God together. But don’t just take our word for it—keep reading to hear from a church who hosted the simulcast last year and discovered just how powerful and rewarding it can be. Their stories might just inspire you to bring this unforgettable experience to your own community!

From Elaine Gordon, Going Beyond Simulcast host

1. The joy in serving as a host church for the Going Beyond Simulcast translates into increased love and learning for the community. This event is a top priority for our women’s ministry to bring quality worship, unparalleled teaching, and community fellowship for a day of spiritual excellence.

The day never fails to produce changed hearts and fresh tears among participants during the intentional time of prayer. The charities chosen add another level of distinction as we enjoy the opportunity to lean into lives of those in need.

The day spent with Priscilla Shirer during the Going Beyond Simulcast is life-changing and soul-altering. I believe God is glorified throughout the world during this special time of singing, learning, and praying under the feet of the ones He granted such talents for kingdom outreach.

2. During COVID, I watched the Going Beyond Simulcast alone at my computer. The message, music, and prayer transcended the screen and transformed my life, prompting a new quest to move closer in relationship with God. Little did I know, years later I would be part of a women’s ministry bringing this powerful day to benefit church members and community alike.

The day is a powerful testimony to God, glorifying His name and presence, during the entire program. This event is a must for anyone considering attending. Don’t regret the things you chose not to do. Choose to attend the Going Beyond Simulcast today!

3. The Going Beyond Simulcast experience is unrivaled in lifting souls and healing hearts among attendees. We laugh, cry, and sometimes laugh through our tears during an emotionally charged day of worship, prayer, and teaching. Priscialla Shirer is a gifted teacher whose presence leaps from the screen and captures the minds of attendees.

4. From the moment Anthony Evans leads us in worship, I am overjoyed to be attending an event of such magnitude alongside other ladies in my church and community. The day is so well programmed, and host church leaders are so thoroughly prepared that I am able to enjoy the day of worship, learning, and prayer as if I carried no other responsibilities.

My church has been a host church for the past several years, and we’ve never regretted the decision! The Simulcast increases exposure for our church and enables us the opportunity to minister to women, known and unknown to us. Everyone is a friend by the day’s end. We love it!!

5. Join a Going Beyond Simulcast today! There are no strangers among the family of God. As a host church, we have enjoyed getting to know everyone who enters to doors to glorify God. It’s a day of worship, learning, and prayer, thoughtfully designed and executed to bring us closer in relationship with God. You’ll love it. We always do!

We look forward to hosting the Going Beyond Simulcast again on August 23, 2025!

From Joyce Bell, Going Beyond Simulcast host

We have had the privilege to host the Going Beyond Simulcast for the past three years (2022–2024), opening our doors and welcoming women from the Middle Tennessee area. Each year our attendance has increased, as women return and bring friends with them, Bibles in hand and ready to learn! In 2024, we had over twenty-five churches represented at our host site. It is a blessing to share in worship, solid biblical teaching, breaking bread, and even a little shopping to support a mission specifically focussed on women! Through this event, we have witnessed powerful prayer experiences, changed lives, friendships deepened, and God glorified.

As a host team, we appreciate the leadership of the Lifeway Women events team. The resources provided on the host website are invaluable to help us prepare. The Lifeway technical team is great to work with, responding quickly to any needs we might have.
